Chapter 548: Star map flickers; memories: meeting Shen Fuguang in the first snow
There is no day or night in the Jiuzhou Temple of the Dragon Tomb, but the sky drawn by the star map flickers.
Every sixty hours, the Milky Way on the earth will appear like a dragon sucking water. The upside-down galaxy will return to the sky, the yellow sand will dance, and then the galaxy will dim.
Until the next sixty hours, the stars will flow from the sky again to form the Milky Way on earth, the star map will emit bright light again, and the yellow sand will fall into silence.
It flickers for sixty hours, just like the breathing of the entire dragon tomb.
The night Chang Le entered Jiuzhou Temple, he experienced the first star map change. The sky went from bright to dim, and the upside-down Milky Way then flowed back to the sky.
Then, the entire dragon tomb entered a darker period.
Chang Le lay prostrate under the tombstone, extremely quiet.
Until the next flickering, the star map emitted bright light again, the Milky Way tilted down again, and the rumbling sound startled Chang Le, who was almost petrified.
Chang Le slowly moved his arm, which was either frozen or numb.
A few cold pieces of ice fell on her body.
Chang Le raised his head slowly. Unknowingly, pale snow flakes began to fall silently like rain of white flowers.
"It's snowing..."
The hoarse voice sounds like a piece of wood sawing the throat, but it does not affect the joy in the voice.
Chang Le stretched out his pale fingers and caught a few clumps of falling snow with his hands close together.
There are no four seasons in the Dragon Tomb, but the wind, rain and snow in District Nine will occasionally cross the spatial dimension and come to the Dragon Tomb.
Just like this first snow.
Chang Le propped himself up, caught the snow and turned to show Shen Fuguang: "The snow is so big, we can make a snowman."
Even though my palms were already frozen, the snowflakes quickly melted into water.
Chang Le curled up against the tombstone and whispered, "When I was with Sister Xiaoye, I hated winter the most because it was too cold and I couldn't get through it. But later, I liked winter the most."
"I met you on the first snow day eleven years ago."
"From that day on, I had a home again and I was no longer afraid of the cold winter."
Chang Le lay down again, closed his eyes, and seemed to have returned to the beginning in the first snow.
Eleven years ago, in late autumn——
Winter comes early in the north. When people in District 7 can still wear short sleeves, it is already snowing in District 9.
In October, the northern part of Region 9 saw its first snow of the year.
The snow is falling heavily, and as it snows, a group of alien species will venture into human settlements in the old ruins of the northern border to store food for hibernation.
District 9 will enter a period of alert at this time. Except for the hunters, mercenaries, vagrants and the like who come here, everyone else will hide at home.
On the third day of the first snowfall, a powerful alien species unexpectedly broke into the northernmost city in the Middle-earth. The defense system of Yulou Pass was not alarmed, and the alien species suddenly appeared in the city and started killing humans.
But it happened that Dragon Emperor Shen Fuguang, Mu Liangchao and Xue Wuwang were in North City at that time. Shen Fuguang and Mu Liangchao arrived in time and quickly killed the alien.
This was a newly pregnant alien species, and it needed a lot of blood and flesh from aliens to safely survive the long winter and give birth in the spring of next year. But unfortunately, its life ended here.
"Alien species - cold-blooded goat, this thing is rare." Mu Liangchao crossed his arms and looked at the huge goat lying in the snow.
The cold-blooded goats on the ground are more than two meters long, with relatively short noses and heads, and camel-like humps on their shoulders, making them very strong.
"This thing's predecessor was the Balearic Islands cave goat, the only cold-blooded mammal. It became extinct before the natural disaster. After the natural disaster, it revived its supernatural power and reappeared as a different species."
Mu Liangchao circled the goat several times, then took out the communicator and took several pictures of it. He put away the communicator and took out a roll of tobacco and lit it.
"Want one?" He handed it to Shen Fuguang who was standing beside him.
Shen Fuguang raised his hand to refuse: "I quit a long time ago."
"It's not fun." Mu Liangchao took it back.
"Wait for someone to come and clean up this place. We should be able to live in peace this year." Mu Liangchao said as he kicked the goat's leg.
"They haven't arrived yet? The smell of blood is so strong, don't let them attract others... hm?"
Mu Liangchao suddenly stopped, his eyes sharp, and he glanced at the corner of the wall not far away, and put the tobacco back into his mouth:
"Old Shen, there are more and more people who don't know what's good for them these days. I told you not to get close, but some people still came to watch the fun. They are really courting death."
"..."
Without waiting for Shen Fuguang to speak, Mu Liangchao looked over puzzledly, only to find that Shen Fuguang's brows were furrowed, and he looked something was not right.
"Old Shen? What's wrong?"
Shen Fuguang suddenly turned his head and looked towards the corner: "They are fighting."
"Hmm?" Mu Liangchao glanced at him, "They wanted to sneak over here to get a piece of the pie, but ended up fighting among themselves?"
Mu Liangchao pinched the cigarette out with his fingers, put his hands in his pockets and walked over there: "I'll go take a look."
Shen Fuguang frowned and raised his hand to touch his chest, muttering: "I feel wrong? Why is it here..."
"Go ahead! Kill her! How dare she snatch our food!"
"Just you little brat, I don't believe in evil!"
"Fuck! Why is it so slippery? I can't catch it!"
In the alley separated by a wall, a group of people were punching and kicking in a panic. A thin figure dodged like a kitten, attacking from time to time, with each move being ruthless, specifically targeting the throat, crotch, heart, eyes and other places.
A few of them exchanged glances and attacked at the same time, forcing the man deep into the alley.
"You little bastard! Where are you going to run to?"
One of them pressed his hands hard on the ground, and his supernatural power caused countless earth spikes to suddenly sprout from the ground and walls.
This was a dead end, and the child had nowhere to escape. He could only dodge as best he could, but the earth spikes were stacked up in large numbers and their angles were becoming increasingly tricky.
The child was unable to dodge and was pierced in the abdomen by a thorn, unable to move for a while.
"Got him!" several people said as they rushed over.
"Cough cough."
A deliberate cough suddenly came from the alley.
"Who?!" Several people turned their heads suddenly and found a young man standing at the entrance of the alley.
This person is Mu Liangchao.
"A scavenger, huh?" Mu Liangchao raised his foot and left two complete shoe prints in the snow. "With such a big commotion, are you scavenging or robbing?"
Scavengers are a name for people in a disorderly place.
Most of them are weak individuals who do not belong to any force, big or small. Most of them survive by robbing the remaining things after the strong hunt for alien species or after alien species kill each other. They are despised by others.
These people are waiting here, waiting for Mu Liang to leave, to see if there are any usable residues left.
The fight between them was brutal. It was obvious that the kid was not in the same group as them and was targeted.
When they heard Mu Liangchao say this, their faces changed.
They can't afford to offend anyone who can kill a peak eighth-level cold-blooded goat.
"Great Lord, spare us! We were just asking for food, and it was this brat! He insisted on being the first one to get there, so we had no choice but to make a noise!"
Mu Liangchao raised his eyes and looked deep into the alley.
The child pulled himself off the thorn with all his might, and blood gushed out onto the ground without making a sound.
Mu Liangchao's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he raised his chin: "I'm in a good mood today, you guys go away."
"This, this..." Several people looked at each other, obviously not wanting to leave.
Mu Liangzhao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the air in the alley became sticky: "For the last time, get out!"
Several people ran away in a hurry.
Mu Liangchao looked at the child with great interest.
The child held his stomach, lowered his head, walked towards me step by step, and then... passed by me.
Mu Liangchao:?
"Hey, kid, I saved you!" Mu Liangchao reached out and grabbed the back of his collar.
